KFFL.com's NFL Hot off the Wire

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee) said he is planning on playing the whole season in 2014. "I'm planning on playing the whole season this year," Gronkowski said.
"I'm always antsy to get back on the field, no matter when it is," he said. "I just want to play football. I love playing the game."

If this prediction is accurate, it would mean that Gronk would be ready for Week 1. There is still a great deal of risk involved with drafting him due to his frequent visits to weekly injury reports. Check back and monitor his progress in camp. If healthy, Gronk is one of the better tight ends in football.
